<p>We remain concerned by intercommunal violence in Nigeria and the devastating impact
it has had on affected communities including heavy loss of life. We continue to push
for a solution that meets the needs of all communities affected. We regularly raise
our concerns with the Government of Nigeria at the highest levels. The Secretary of
State for International Development raised the issue with the Nigerian Vice President
and the Governor of Kaduna during his visit in July. He highlighted how factors including
ethnicity, religion and climate change are driving intercommunal violence across Nigeria.
The UK, including the British High Commission in Abuja, will continue to engage closely
with the federal government, state government, international partners and the National
Economic Council to help address the underlying issues that cause conflict.</p>
